What decals would you like to see???

Post by dgsselkirk »

Hi Guys,

I have some room on an up coming decal sheet. So looking for suggestions on what people want. More of a general question. For example more IDF Sherman decals, or Polish armour. I have to produce 200 copies so I can't do some really obscure one of a kind stuff! :D

Look forward to hearing from you!

On this site we not only build Armour we also build trucks and in our world trucks mean trailers,
What should you see at the back of a 1/16---1/12 trailer but never do?
Triangular trailer reflectors!!!
I have searched long and hard for trailer reflector decals and then our own Rad Schuhart volunteered to make up a set for me in 1/16 and 1/12,
Lo and behold he stamped/pressed out my reflectors on a sheet of red reflex paper and they are great and of course when a light is shone upon them they really work :thumbup: and of course Rad made them for pennies :thumbup:

But there will obviously be a market for trailer reflector decals as well.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I think truck decals would be good, with the ever expanding truck projects on here things like number plates reflectors and the other general markings, faction weight plates etc would do well as no one makes them unless you obtain a stencil

Which like above I had to get from rad.

The stencils I requested where the Russian markings a number plate and some sort of Russian text that I have forgot what it actually says.

The truck I’m working on now is pretty much the same but painted in German colours so for me would require the necessary decals.

Tank wise perhaps some French or polish markings on the allied side or maybe fin for axis

I’d certainly go Finland as they cover both Russian and German AFV’s .
Polish, NZ, and French would cover a lot of Sherman’s Thru the Italian sector .
Hard to know what would be a hit, we all build so differently

I think mr bix it’s about what sells and if we look around just on the forums setting aside the customs the German tanks, tiger one mostly seems the most popular so I think perhaps the fins would be an option. If they used the afv in question.

For the polish stickers it could still appeal to fans of a particular German tank but otherwise it will be for those of us that like to build Sherman’s

For the French well I know I mention it but as the shade of paint used is quite hard to mix and harder still to buy, would it be worth doing but at the same time the French were given some a3 105s according to my research, so if you could get the paint the standard hl sherman would do nicely
